SE Asia Stocks-Jittery on U.S. rate risks; Philippines sheds 1.1 pct

* Singapore falls 0.8 pct with broad-based losses

* Philippines, Vietnam hardest hit

Feb 22 (Reuters) - Southeast Asian stock markets were

buffeted by a region-wide sell-off on Thursday as investors

fretted over the possibility of a quickening in U.S. interest

rate hikes, with Vietnam and the Philippines bearing the brunt.

The U.S. Federal Reserve's rate-setting committee voiced

more confidence in the need to keep raising interest rates at

its latest policy meeting, minutes released on Wednesday showed,

with most believing that inflation would perk up.

E-Mini futures for the S&P 500 lost 0.3 percent and

FTSE futures slid 0.8 percent. Asia shares ex-Japan

dropped 1 percent.

Philippine shares shed 1.1 percent, dragged by index

heavyweight SM Investments Corp which slid 3.6 percent

to its lowest close since mid-November.

Ayala Corp fell 2.5 percent.

The Singapore index was down 0.8 percent, weighed

down by industrials and financial stocks.

Lender DBS Group Holdings retreated from recent

all-time highs to fall 1.5 percent, while Keppel Corporation Ltd

declined 2.2 percent.

Yangzijiang Shipbuilding Holdings Ltd was the

biggest loser on the index, slipping 4 percent to a one-week

closing low.

Indonesian shares fell for a third day, closing down

0.8 percent, with losses driven by financial stocks such as Bank

Negara Indonesia (Persero) Tbk PT which fell nearly 4

percent.

Vietnam slipped 1 percent, dragged by utility and

consumer staples stocks. Petrovietnam Gas Joint Stock Corp

slumped 5.4 percent, while Vinamilk shed 1.1

percent.

Thai shares finished 0.7 percent lower, with losses

across most sectors outweighing gains in energy stocks led by

oil and gas giant PTT Pcl which rose 3.5 percent.

PTT rose for a fourth session to post a record closing high.
